Howdy, I have had my deere die on me and this is what I have done and things I have checked. 1, is the starter spinning the engine fast enough to make the automatic compression release work? I had a 210 that would not run and it had fuel and fire and what I thought was enough compression but as it turned out it didn't. The engine has to spin faster than 650 rpm to let the acr give the engine full compression. The next thing I have run into is safety switches, but since you have fire you can probably scratch that problem out. Hope it is as simple as a good carb cleaning and hopefully I was able to help.

Thanks to all of you for suggestions etc. I filed the points and reset, It now starts and runs but not quite right yet new plug, and disassembled the carb and reinstalled. I've decided I need a new carb though cause the throttle valve rod is wore out.

I'm going to have to leave now for a while . We are in the process of moving so I will be out of pocket for a while

Be careful moving and we will see you again when you get settled and have time to check in.
